CTc Cooling Tower Apparatus Educational Equipment Chemical Engineering
This equipment has been designed to experience with the construction principles and operational characteristics of cooling towers and it mainly consists of a packed tower of transparent metacrylate.
TRAINING PROGRAM
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
- Fluodynamics of different packings with different flow ratesof air and water
- Measurement of operational parameters in steady-stateconditions
- Representation of the state of the system on psychrometricchart and energy balance
- Effect of the packing surface on the approach to wet bulband on the pressure drops
- Performance with different cooling loads and inlettemperatures
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
- Rectangular tower of Plexiglas; height of 550 mm
- 3 packings of different specific surface (92, 131 and235 m2/m3) being included in the tower and easilyinterchangeable
